Baccarat - The Game

Baccarat is a simple card game, steeped in history, first invented in the 1500's by French aristocrats. In Baccarat you are betting on one of three events occurring: -

i.   the banker's hand winning
ii.  the player's hand winning
iii. neither hand winning - a tie

What makes Baccarat exciting is that the stakes are usually high and a lot can be won or lost very quickly.

Banker's Hand

Betting on the banker's hand to win.  The house has a 1.17% advantage - for every $100 bet $98.83 is paid.

Payout - Even money less 5% commission.

Player's Hand

Betting on the player hand to win.  The house has a 1.36 advantage - for every $100 bet $98.64 is paid.

Payout -  Even money.

Tied Hand

Betting that neither hand will win. The odds of a draw in Baccarat are 10 to 1.  Naturally the odds are stacked in favor of the casino. This is the worst bet you can make.

Payout - 8 to 1 or 9 to 1.
